have you seasoned citizens noticed how people speak louder when they are talking to you? I've had to say a couple of times, hey, I'm not deaf just because I'm 66. I don't remember doing that to older folks when I was young. Course my grandfather, Pop, was like one of my best friends so I wouldn't talk that way to him. I guess these young people mean well, but it is irritating at times.
I posted some comments on YouTube that a young guy didn't appreciate and he said all kinds of nasty things. Like that bothered me. I was right. Shortly after that I got an email from him apologizing all over the place. Why? He had since seen my profile and knew I was a grandmother. I told him that didn't matter; he was stating his opinion. Course I told him he should clean up his language anyhow. :)
I am still surprised at times when I see myself in a mirror. Is that elderly person really me? I don't feel that old. Well, except when I have climb stairs.
